Uncertainty is the situation which involves imperfect and / or unknown information.
The term is used in a number of fields:
- Engineering
- Physics
- Statistics
- Metrology
- Information science
- Philosophy
- Insurance
- Economics
- Finance
- Psychology
- Sociology
It applies to predictions of future events, to physical measurements that are already made, or to the unknown.
Uncertainty arises in partially observable and/or stochastic environments, as well as due to ignorance and/or indolence.
